Rosie O'Donnell On How Her Child Came Out As Nonbinary
Rosie O'Donnell opened up for the first time about her child coming out as nonbinary. In a conversation with Variety about her role as a Mary in the third season of And Just Like That..., Rosie discussed when her child, Clay, 12, disclosed their gender identity to her. Rosie described it as "the most interesting thing." "I have a little one who is nonbinary — 12 years old — and it was the most interesting thing," the actor and comedian said. "They said to me, 'Mommy, I'm nonbinary. I'm not a boy and I'm not a girl.' I said, 'Okay, fantastic.'" "They go, 'My pronouns are they/them, and I'd like them respected.' I will do my very best, right? Who are they, Harvey Milk reincarnated?" Rosie added. If you didn't know, Rosie is a parent to five children: Clay, Vivieene, 22, Blake, 25, Chelsea, 27, and Parker, 30. In a March 20 TikTok, Rosie confirmed that she's officially living in Ireland and is "proud and impressed" with her child Clay's adjustment to the big change. "It's not easy to move to another country, and we really felt as a family this was the safest and best thing for us to do." Talking with Variety, Rosie also said the conversation led to her child asking if she was nonbinary. "I said, 'Well, you know what, honey, I'm an O.G. lesbian. I'm a girl who knew I was a girl, who liked being a girl, but didn't feel like a real girl. But I never wanted to be a boy. I never thought about boys. I was only always thinking about girls.' And then they said, "What did your class say when you told them?" Rosie then explained that the expression of sexuality and gender was very different when she was a kid in the 70s. "Can you imagine? They have no understanding of what it was like when I was 10 in 1972 and nobody mentioned it. The word was not said — you would never admit it." "You'd go to church and hear horrible things about people like you, and Billie Jean [King] and Martina [Navratilova] had to disclaim their lesbianism and pretend they were not gay in order to continue working on the tennis circuit, and that was so painful for me when I was a 10-year-old. They didn't understand. I've been trying to explain to them what it was like when I was a kid, and they are stunned." As a millennial who is queer and nonbinary, it's important to note that the reason it's much different for younger generations like Clay and myself can be attributed to people like Rosie. I grew up watching Rosie in A League of Their Own, The Flintstones, Wide Awake, Harriet the Spy (my favorite), and her talk shows. When she publicly came out, it was the first time I saw someone accepting who they truly are despite opposition. It provided me with a blueprint to begin my journey of self-discovery years ago, and these journeys continue for the younger generations, thanks to folks like Rosie. "It was really a strange time to be out of the closet to everyone in show business who knew me personally — and in my life, everyone knew and I had children. Once you have children, you're out! Because you go with your partner to the school meetings," Rosie told the publication. "I was out to everyone except the public. And I often thought it was surprising that when I did come out, people were surprised. 'Well, you like Tom Cruise.' I didn't want him naked in my bed! I wanted him to mow my lawn and give me a lemonade. How many times do I have to say that?" Oh, Rosie. You did it for me again. Some of us really need to see and hear these conversations. 😂 Thank you.

Yes, You Can Shop Carrie's Insanely Large Hat From 'And Just Like That'
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Sex and the City's fashionable legacy is alive and well in And Just Like That..., whether it's in the form of more frilly, frothy gowns or eccentric accessories (like that pigeon purse). While Patricia Field is no longer with the series, Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Seema, and Lisa are in good hands with costume designers Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago. If you're looking for some out-of-the-box outfit inspiration this spring and summer, look no further than the standout looks from AJLT season 3. See some of our favorites below, and check back each week for new additions. What does Carrie Bradshaw wear in her apartment? Oh, just a casual sheer Simone Rocha dress and coat. The famous columnist starts out season 3, episode 1 in this ethereal look, and similar pieces are still available to shop. We need to talk about the hat. During a stroll with Seema, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) steps out in what many have described as a Strawberry Shortcake-like headpiece. 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Parker told US Weekly. 'We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick [King, the showrunner] is hospitable to the idea.' The piece is by Maryam Keyhani, paired with a vintage Ossie Clark dress and Dr. Scholl's sandals. Nicole Ari Parker's Lisa might be a new addition to the world of SATC, but she can certainly keep up with the main trio, especially when it comes to style. For her husband's campaign event, she dressed up in a colorful La DoubleJ dress and yellow feathered heeled sandals for an extra pop of color. You can find a similar style here. This post will be updated.

Sarah Jessica Parker tells us about her head-turning 'cloud hat' in 'And Just Like That'
Sarah Jessica Parker tells us about her head-turning 'cloud hat' in 'And Just Like That' Show Caption Hide Caption Sarah Jessica Parker on new 'And Just Like That' season Sarah Jessica Parker reveals why audiences are rooting for Aidan and Carrie in new season of "And Just Like That." Spoiler alert! The following story contains minor details about the Season 3 premiere of "And Just Like That" (first episode now streaming on HBO Max; new episodes on Thursdays). NEW YORK — It's been 27 years since 'Sex and the City' first strutted onto HBO, but Carrie Bradshaw is still turning heads. Whether she's braving a snowstorm in a Moncler puffer gown or giving bridal chic with a taxidermied bird headpiece, the authorial fashionista has never shied away from an over-the-top gown or accessory. Her audacious style moments continue in Season 3 of sequel series 'And Just Like That...,' following Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) and friends as they weather another Manhattan summer of romantic misadventures. On an afternoon stroll through Washington Square Park, Carrie's friend Seema (Sarita Choudhury), recounts how she nearly burned down her apartment while smoking in bed during a bad FaceTime date. The courtship horror story is amusing, yes, but it's impossible not to take your eyes off Carrie's humongous headwear in the scene: a floppy gingham hat designed by Maryam Keyhani. She pairs the colossal chapeau with a brown, pink and cream-colored dress from Ossie Clark, which she ties together with Dr. Scholl's white slides. After nearly three decades of working together, executive producer Michael Patrick King has learned never to question Parker's trend-setting choices. 'I saw the hat and wanted it on my head,' Parker says. 'At this point, there's no pretend dilly-dallying around. We pretty much just put stuff on my head and photograph it, and hope that Michael Patrick is hospitable to the idea.' The Ossie Clark dress reminded Parker of Neapolitan ice cream, which neatly combines chocolate, vanilla and strawberry flavors side by side. Without a headpiece, Parker adds, the scrumptious frock would feel 'incomplete.' Over the years, "once you've put a lot of hats on your head, you feel like it's missing its punctuation point,' Parker says. 'So there was that hat. It was going to be a lovely summer day, and it just felt like the period at the end of the sentence. I loved it and (King) agreed. I feel we've really worn him down. His eyes have adapted to large-scale things on heads now, so he's pretty generous about how often they can appear.' The Maryam Keyhani design is frequently called a 'cloud hat,' although King jokingly refers to it as 'the Hindenburg hot-air balloon.' For him, it felt like a brazen fashion statement to help usher in the comedy's new season. 'It's like, 'Hey, everybody, we're back! Here's a hat that Carrie would wear eating sherbet in Washington Square Park. Why not?'' King says. 'I've learned over the years that sometimes logic is not as good as a hat. It makes people say, 'I love it. I hate it. Oh, my God, what was she thinking?' 'It'll be a meme,' he continues. 'It'll be a thing. People will wear it at Halloween. It's always fun, but with that (hat) particularly, I had to call up some of the writers and say, 'Get ready. Once it's on the head, it's not coming off.'' King teases more delectable style ahead in 'And Just Like That...' Season 3, including a 'stunning' vintage Vivienne Westwood piece that Carrie dons in the final two episodes. ('It is quite special,' he says. 'It's an event.') A midseason episode also begins with a montage of Carrie sporting roughly a dozen different heels as she sashays through her new Gramercy Park townhouse. Although her face and torso aren't visible for the minute-long sequence, Parker wore every unique outfit on display. 'The shoe montage made everybody salivate,' King says. 'It's all her. Nobody else walks in Carrie's shoes – Sarah Jessica is a purist. There's not one part of Carrie Bradshaw that's ever been filmed by any other actor, especially not her feet. She was adamant she wanted to get in as many different shoes as possible.' Meanwhile, Seema flaunts a braided white dress in the Season 3 premiere, as she accompanies her film-director paramour, Ravi (Armin Amiri), to a dusty shoot. Choudhury recalls how fastidiously the crew worked to ensure it never got dirty. 'It looks like string or thin rope bound together,' Choudhury says. 'It's made in Colombia by many people. I wear it with Ravi when he's directing a scene and it's the dirtiest terrain. Everyone was super worried (about) this dress. It was my favorite because it's not a name brand, and yet there was more care and love for that dress than anything I've worn in the show.'

The 10 Most Fabulous Samantha Episodes of Sex and the City
While Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie Bradshaw was ostensibly the main character of Sex and the City, there are many viewers who would argue that sex-positive PR maven Samantha Jones, played with unforgettable verve by Kim Cattrall, was the heart of the show. So when it was revealed that Cattrall, who had an alleged fallout with Parker, would not be reprising her role in the SATC reboot series, And Just Like That..., Samantha fans were understandably disappointed. A brief Samantha cameo in the Season 2 finale gave some closure to her storyline, but it was also a reminder of what could have been if the two SATC stars had been able to resolve their reported real-life differences. Season 3 of AJLT might be missing Samantha, but luckily, there's always the option of rewatching the original series. Here, the 10 best Samantha episodes of Sex and the City 's fabulous six seasons. 10. "An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)" (Season 6, Episode 19) When Samantha is asked to speak at a breast cancer benefit, she originally plans to give a pretty canned speech about how any woman can be the "face of breast cancer." But after a chemo-induced hot flash leaves her sweating profusely and bombing on stage, Samantha rips off her wig and speaks from the heart about the real struggles of cancer. Her off-the-cuff and expletive-laden outburst inspires a standing ovation and dozens of women in the room to also remove their wigs. 9. "All or Nothing" (Season 3, Episode 10) When Carrie reveals she's having an affair with a recently married Mr. Big, Samantha shows up for her as her authentically non-judgmental self, insisting shame simply isn't her style. Although she spends much of the rest of the episode lamenting her single status after coming down with the flu, by the end, she's over her fever-induced delirium and back on the horse of celebrating having it all—which in Samantha's book, doesn't include marriage. 8. "Easy Come, Easy Go" (Season 3, Episode 9) While Carrie is busy falling back down the rabbit hole of Big, Samantha is dealing with her own dating pitfall: sleeping with a man who, as she loudly announces at brunch, has "the funkiest tasting spunk." After initially making an attempt to get him on a healthier diet, Samantha hits him with the stone cold truth about the situation at hand, eliciting some textbook misogyny in response. Her solution? If he tries some himself, she'll stop complaining. All's fair, as they say. 7. "Luck Be an Old Lady" (Season 5, Episode 3) This is not Samantha's typical unabashedly confident fare. After reconciling with hotel magnate Richard Wright despite his previous infidelity, Samantha spends what's supposed to be a celebratory weekend in Atlantic City panicking over the idea of him jumping at any opportunity for a repeat cheating performance. But by the time she finds herself sprinting up 11 flights of stairs in a pearl thong to try to catch him in the act, it's become all too clear their relationship is severely dulling her shine. In response to Richard (who's innocent, at least this time around) trying to assuage her fears by proclaiming his love for her, Samantha shuts him down with a rebuttal that exemplifies her liberated mindset: "I love you too, Richard. But I love me more." 6. "The Baby Shower" (Season 1, Episode 10) When the ladies are invited to "that hell on earth that only your closest friends can inflict on you"—a.k.a. a baby shower—Samantha comes to Charlotte's defense no questions asked with a definitive declaration of "You bitch!" upon learning that the mother-to-be stole Charlotte's planned baby name (of which she had long been well aware). Later, Samantha throws herself an "I don't have a baby" shower just to let everyone know how fabulous she is. It's an early and iconic indicator of Samantha's penchant for unapologetically living on her own terms. 5. "The Ick Factor" (Season 6, Episode 14) Samantha has always loved her body. As she puts it, "My legs are fantastic, I have killer abs, my ass is perfection." But when she decides to get a boob job after seeing a series of photos of herself in a tabloid magazine, things don't go as planned. After the doctor finds a cancerous lump, Samantha takes a cab 100 blocks out of her way to pick Carrie up on the way to Miranda's wedding so she can deliver the news in a way that won't distract from Miranda's big day. Naturally, the truth does eventually come out at the reception, but Samantha still puts on a brave face for her friends. And the whole thing even makes her reconsider her decision to surgically alter her body. "I know I'm gonna be fine, I know that," she explains. "It's just, I don't want to lose my breasts. They're fabulous." 4. "Just Say Yes" (Season 4, Episode 12) After Carrie discovers Aidan is planning to propose—and immediately throws up upon seeing the ring (a pear-shaped diamond with a gold band, god forbid)—Samantha asserts her unsentimental two cents of, "Wrong ring, wrong guy." But despite her less-than-enthused thoughts on the institution of marriage, Samantha proves her friendships are more important to her than any personal hangups when she reveals she helped Aidan pick out a new ring that would actually entice Carrie to say yes. As she puts it in her oh-so-Samantha way, "If you're going to ruin our lives, I'd at least like to look at a nice piece of jewelry." 3. "Critical Condition" (Season 5, Episode 6) While she initially isn't very sympathetic to Miranda experiencing the challenges of new motherhood, once Carrie alerts her to the fact that she's been coming off a bit callous, Samantha shows up for Miranda in the best way she knows how—by spending the afternoon babysitting while Miranda takes over her highly coveted hair appointment with John Mandee at the John Mandee Salon. She also devises a very Samantha method for fixing baby Brady's oscillating chair, the only thing that keeps him from crying, when it suddenly stops working right after Miranda walks out the door. She may refer to Brady as an "asshole" a few times, but this is still some of Samantha's most thoughtful work. 2. "Anchors Away" (Season 5, Episode 1) In the wake of reluctantly opening her heart to Richard only to find out he was sleeping around on her, Samantha proceeds to plaster his neighborhood with fliers of his face accompanied by the labels "CHEATER!" and "LIAR!!!" When confronted by a cop for defacing public property, Samantha lets her in on Richard's explicit transgression and instantly earns a metaphorical get-out-of-jail-free card from her new police officer ally. Although she ultimately does end up briefly getting back together with Richard, this all goes to show just how much Samantha isn't one to be trifled with—especially considering a confrontation with Richard earlier in the episode had already put him on the receiving end of not only a drink in the face but one of Sam's most memorable one-liners, "Dirty martini, dirty bastard." 1. "Cover Girl" (Season 5, Episode 4) Season 5 of Sex and the City features a legendary run of episodes for Samantha. But, in our humble opinion, there's no denying "Cover Girl" takes the cake for her best of not only the season, but perhaps the entire series. After Samantha offers her pricey PR services to Carrie for the low cost of two martinis and a lunch, Carrie shows up at Samantha's office to find her providing a certain other service for the World Wide Express delivery guy. When Samantha tries to make light of Carrie catching her in the act, Carrie (who we might also remind you is a sex columnist) can't manage to contain her distaste for what she saw. Despite the fact that Carrie has always turned to Samantha in times of need for non-judgmental support, this escalates into a fight between the two in which Samantha valiantly defends her casual approach to sex with one of her most searing retorts: 'I will not be judged by you or society. I will wear whatever and blow whomever I want as long as I can breathe and kneel!"
